Why the Internal Revenue Should be
Touched First.

touCO6O FIST
New York SUM-
Leaving out of sight questions of principle
and the abstract merits of different theories
of taxation, these facts remain:
The present excess of revenue over ex-
penditure resulting in the surplus with its
attendant evils, is not necessarily fixed
condition in our national affairs. There is
nothing immutable. inevitable in the surplus
even with the taxes as they are.
In one year from to-day, in six months,
perhaps in three months, new condition of
affairs may arise which will require every
dollar of the revenue that now goes into the
Treasury, and more, too.
No tariff craftsmanship is worthy of re-
spect II, in dealing with the fact of q sur
plus, II fails likewise to take into c0nsidera-
ton the possibility of deficiency in the
near future.
The internal revenue tax is properly the
emergency tax. 1t is always odious, but it
can be taken off and restored again with far
less disturbance to the business interests of
the country than must result from equiva-
lent changes in the customs tariff.
The internal revenue tax on alcohol and
tobacco is the margin Of safety. the most
available resource against sudden need. 1t
is a handy thing to have in reserve.
Leave this tax untouched, and make the
reduction solely in the customs duties, and
then what happens in the event of a changed
condition of affairs, demanding more reve-
nue. than the new schedules produce?
The margin Of safety is no longer availa-
BILE. 1t has been used. 1t is no longer there.
The reimbursement of trade to the new Gus
toms schedule has also been effected. and the
tariff cannot again be tinkered without seri-
GUS distress in some quarters, and perhaps
widespread financial disaster. Yet the gov
eminent must have more money.
The additional revenue must be raised by
internal taxation-not by internal taxation
in Its least offensive form, that is to say, up
on alcohol and tobacco, for they are already
taxed but by levying new taxes upon other
products OF home manufacture-perhap d.
rectly upon the earnings and savings Of the
citizens.
The short-sighted policy of surplus reduc-
tion which lets the internal revenue stand in
order to get hack at the customs duties in
the interest of free trade shapes its way
straight toward the income tax. that most
hateful and oppressive of all imposts.
The surplus is bad thing, but there are
worse things than surplus

A suspicion is entertained in some quar-
tiers that Mr.. Cleveland does not intend to
be candidate again. The ground of it is
the fact that he has taken definite stand
on an important question. Democrats am
bilious to be candidates have in the past al
most invariably straddled all questions of
that nature. But Mr.. Cleveland is bump
tious and like the first Napoleon is a firm be-
lever in destiny.

johann Most gets sentence of one year
in prison. 1t is not new experience for
him. Several times in Europe and once in
America he has been secluded from his fell
low men in the hope that he might see the

But his tongue has always gone to wagging
again as soon as he got out. He belongs to
the class Of incorrigibles whom it would be
for the interest Of the community to shut up
indefinitely.

MR.. REED AND THE sPEAKERsHIP.
philadelphia Bulletin.]
The nomination of Thomas b. Reed. of
Maine, for Speaker. for which the Republic
cans IN the House at Washington will vote
to-day Is a compliment to one of the most
Industrious, forcefui and brilliant members
of Congress. 1t is virtually the formal selec-
tion of him as the parliamentary leader Of
the minority. Reed is a strong debnter and
shrewd tactician, with just enough of the
dash of a partisan to make him magnetic and
interesting. As champion of protection he
Is probably second to no man in the House,
II we except Mckinley, Of Ohio. He Is well
equipped in every way for the duties Of
Republican leadership, and when the Repub-
licans again have majority of the House
they will probably be inclined to repeat their
present compliment in its most substantial
form.
THE TEXAS WOOL.
[Senator Chace of Rhode Island.l
The President says that the consumer of
wool has to pay for the clothing thar he buys
price that is Increased by several times the
duty on wool, and that this is an oppression
of the people. There are now in this coun-
try in rude number, 100000 flock. owners,
who own over 100000 sheep, and produce
1926, 100000 pounds of wool, worth $40, 000,-
900. That wool is very important part OF
the wool product of the world. Tale off the
duth on wool, and probably one-half of these
stockholders would get out OF business,
slaughter their sheep and turn their atten
ton 10 other affairs, thus reducing the pro-
duct one-half The effect of this would be
to make wool scarce in the markets of the
world, and the price would necessarily adj
vance, the increase being greater than the
duty. but the men who gave us wool-grow-
something else, agriculture probably, and in
creased competition would reduce the profits
of that branch of industry.
